ThermoWorks WAND infrared forehead thermometer, pre-order $89


 
I love Thermoworks. For an institution, business, factory, office or something like that where you will need good testing many times a day for many days/weeks, it would be a good deal. But as an average joe, it would be a little out there IMO.
 
I get this sentiment, there was similar discussion about this a few months back having to do with Thermapen. All I can say is I gave up a long time ago trying to figure out what "an average Joe" would or would not buy. A lot of them here in CA have expensive off-road toys parked in the garage and big pickups parked in the driveway. I see lots of 85" flat panel TVs rolling out of Costco. Lots of folks cooking with All-Clad cookware. Lots of folks buying Weber grills when cheaper ones are lined up outside Lowe's. To each his own, I guess.
 
Very true Chris. I can only speak for myself. And my post was totally my opinion. I tend to have different tastes and values than people living on the two coasts. But, I think everyone can agree with me that the 93 cents a gallon gas we have here in my area right now is a good deal for anyone.
 
Oil prices have dropped so low, Exxon-Mobil is going to have to start laying off Congressmen.....

My g/f & I take our healthcare rather seriously, we have questioned the accuracy of the medical thermometers that we have. I jumped on this when it came in this morning, hopefully I got in early enough (and padded the order with a few fridge & freezer monitors.)
 
Wow, makes the Thermoworks look very competitive price wise. I wonder how those prices would have comparted to prices for them in January?
 
Wish this would have been an option last year when we bought a forehead thermometer. We bought one for about $30-40 from Amazon and it's a piece of junk
 
Kyle, I bought one several years ago too and it is a POS. I tried it when I had a could a few weeks ago and was coughing. It kept reading me at 97.2 to 97.5.
 
Going to show this to the Finance Minister/War Department (Barb).
We looked on Amazon and the reviews on most weren't very good. I know with our two Thermo Pops and our three ThermoWorks timers they are reliable and very accurate, which when taking ones temperature is a necessity.
Compared to what the prices on Amazon are now the Wand is a bargain.

Ordered one and a dot, missed the case darn it.

To enter our job site you have to have your temp taken, I also have two young boys and this will make life easy.

My client has been wanting us to take our temps prior to going on-site, but that's never been verified that I know of.

It was indeed delivered today (2 items still on backorder, but I'm fine with that.) Seems to be up to Thermoworks usual fit & quality, although there's a certificate in a Pan-Asian language that I just don't know (I suspect a dialect of Japanese or Chinese, pretty sure it's not Korean, or Malaysian.) While I haven't done the side by side test yet with our oral thermometers, and quick check in the kitchen seems to be about what I'd expect, and it's FAST, about 1 second to acquisition, and an automatic threshold over 99.5 degrees F to give a distinctly different audible set of tones. Yes, I'll take it with me to the clinic for my next appointment, they've gone over to forehead IR scans.

It bears a bit of a resemblance to a ST:TNG phaser. :)
